Jan. 17, 1933. J. VAGHELATOS HAIR WAVER Filed July 26. 1930 v glwue'ntoz James l/af/le/azw Patented Jan. 17, 1933 PATENT OFFICE JAMES VAGHELATOS, O1? TOLEDO, OHIO HAIR WAVER Application filed July 26,

This invention relates to hair waving.

This invention has utility when incorporated in a method of waving hair for producing permanent waves.

Referring to the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a view, in elevation, showing an installation for using the method of the invention herein, parts being broken away;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of a wrapper used in o the method herein disclosed;

Fig. 3 is a view of the wrapperof Fig. 2 in partly assembled position; 1

Fig. 4 is a front elevation of a heating element used in the method herein; and

Fig. 5 is a view on the line V-V; Fig. 1. In instances wherein it is desired to place a permanent wave in hair, a lock of the hair 1 is wrapped about rod 2 and then incased in a strip of material forming a wrapper '3 having a treated portion 4 and an untreated portion 5. The treated portion 4 comprises a pad formed by a laminated series of absorbent sheets impregnated with a suitable alkali.

This portion 4 may be attached to the untreated portion 5 by means of stitching 6.

I The untreated portion comprises a thin paper sheet 7 andfoil member 8, the foil member having paper facing 9. This untreated section is materially larger than the 0 treated section.

The portion 4: is wrapped about the lock of hair on the rod 2 and a heating element 10 is then placed in direct contact therewith and the treated portion, hair and element- Wrapped by the untreated portion, the foil 8 forming the outer wrap. .The ends of the members 7, 8, 9, are then twisted for holding the roll closed. Clips 11 may be used to insure against opening or spreading.

A single roll or curl is thus formed ready for baking. The building of this roll is quickly accomplished, the strip of wrapping material wound about the hair, the heating element placed against an intermediate wrap and held in place by the remaining wraps.

The heating element 10 is a multiple service unit of trough form permitting it to engage a surface of a cylindrical form, and comprises core 12 of insulation material as mica, wrapped with resistance wire 13 The from which the lines 20, 21, extend.

1930. Serial No. 470,866.

core and winding has insulation covering 14, the whole being provided with foil outer covering 15.

Current is supplied to the winding 13 through lines 16, 17, Whose exterior termini are engaged by clips 19 from lines 20, 21. The clips are supplied with insulation hoods 20. The current used may be 110 volt stepped down to 6 volt by transformer 22 A fixture 23 may carry a large number of line pairs 20, 21, to which the lines 16, 17, may be attached as each wave or curl roll is completed and ready for the baking process. The baking is continued as determined by the textureof the hair being treated.

.The low voltage current may also be had by placing a number of the heating elements in series.

There is herein provided a method of hair P Waving avoiding burning either the patron or the operator by the heating element and which-permits the use of a multiple service heating element of inexpensive construction thereby considerably lowering the cost of equ1pment.

What is claimed and it is desired to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

1. A hair waving device comprising a hair encasing treated fabric wrapper, a metal sheathed heating element having a concave side to nest against a convex side of the hair encasing wrapper, and a wrapper extension from the said fabric wrapper'enveloping the element and wrapper.

2. An envelop for a hair waving device lncludlng an impregnated fabric, a paper encased foil leaf, stitching assembly means uniting the fabric and paper together, and a sheathed heating unit thereabout to seat agamst the partially wrapped paper of the envelop and to be encased by the terminal portion of the paper of said envelop.

wrapper.

4. A hair wavin device having a concave seat heater provi mg an open side trough, a hair wrap receiving rod for resting in said trough, and a continuous wrapper for the rod and about the hair, said wrapper having portions thereof to space the heater from the hair and portions assembling the rod and the hair wrapped thereabout into the concave portion of the trough of the heater, there being wrapper portions extending therefrom to envelop said heater and rod to hold the hair in the heater trough.

5. Apparatus for waving hair comprising a rod about which a strand of hair may be wrapped, a strip material sectionfor wrapping about the hair on the rod, a heating element to be placed against the outside of said wrapped hair on the rod, and a sheet material shield to envelop the hair and the strip material section therewith, the rod and the element in assembling the element directly with the wrapped hair and the rod to confine the heat from the element for action upon said hair.

6. Apparatus for waving hair comprising a rod about which a strand of hair may be I wrapped, a strip of material having a chemically impregnated hair wrapping section for providing a plurality of wraps about the hair on the rod, a heating unit to nest about the impregnated section, and an enveloping strip v of material about the impregnated section and heating unit and anchoring the rod and the hair together with the strip material impregnated section therewith in the nest of the heating unit.

' 7. A hair waving device having a concave seat heater providing an open trough, a hair wrap receiving rod for nesting in said trough, and a heat responsive impregnated wrapping strip for the rod. and hair and enveloping the wrapped hair about the rod for spacing the hair on the rod from thetrough, there being a wrapping strip extending about the heater and the hair together with the impregnated strip therewith on the rod, as an envelop therefor.

8. An envelop for a hair waving device ineluding an impregnated fabric, a foil leaf, assembly means therefor, and a sheathed heating element to seat against the partially wrapped foil leaf of the envelop and to be encased by the terminal portion of the foil leaf of the said envelop.

In witness whereof I afix my signature.

JAMES VAGHELATOS.
